GORILLAS

Gorillas

Digital Collage

Gorillas is a surrealist street art campaign made up of seven wheatpaste style posters and a series of geometric
seals and organic shapes. Each poster has a central theme and uses gorillas as a metaphor for humans to express each
idea. The purpose of the campaign is to present the viewer with ideas that exist outside the socially constructed
reality and to awaken a sense of wonder about the true nature of existence.

Origin

18"x24"

The whole cosmos is alive. Through out the universe the building blocks of life are assembling themselves based on
the program for life that exists in everything. The universe is teeming with life and all life in the universe
shares a common heritage and a common origin.

Consciousness

Conscious awareness is the way through which creation begins to better know itself. All to often we trap ourselves
in the ego and distract ourselves from the present moment by escaping into cyclical patterns of thought. This keeps
us from understanding our true essence as pure consciousness.

Thought

18"x24"

Digital Collage

Our closest friend and our greatest foe. Thought has allowed our continued survival on this planet, but may also be
the cause of our destruction. Thought has allowed many to build magnificent palaces, but few pay attention to the
inner architecture of the mind. Unless we are able to separate consciousness from the mind and begin to use it as a
tool rather than letting it use us as a tool, our inevitable demise is ensured.

Sun

18"x24"

Digital Collage

The creator and eventual destroyer of our planetary neighborhood. Worshipped, feared and misunderstood. Far from the
consistent ball of fire we see in the sky, the sun is a roaring dynamic force of energy. The sun created the atoms
that make up our bodies. Solar energy enters the ecosystem through plants and nourishes all life on earth. We are
living solar energy.

Universe

18"x24"

Digital Collage

We find the unimaginable scale of the universe very intimidating, but we forget one key thing. We are the Universe.
We have not been magically inserted inside the cosmos. We are the cosmos. We are the Universe alive inside itself.
Where our skin ends we do not end, we simply move through it unaware of our connection to all matter, much like a
fish is unaware of water. We may often be in awe of the infinite space above us, but forget about the infinite
space within us. We are a living breathing universe alive inside a universe, existing somewhere in between the
infinite micro and macro.

Evolve

18"x24"

Digital Collage

We are, as we have seen, a product of this long evolutionary journey. Through the evolution of matter and stars.
Through the evolution of life and simple organisms. To the stage where now with us, Evolution has reached a
crucial stage of complexity where by it can look back on the universe. Whether we are studying a stone, a leaf,
or looking out into the heavens. We are the universes way of beginning to explore itself.

Creation

18"x24"

Digital Collage

We are deeply connected to a divine creative force that permeates the universe. We are both a result of, and a
participant in, the process of creation. Our true creative potential arises when we enter a timeless mindless
state of play. Existing fully in the moment and allowing the universal creative force to flow through us, is
the way in which this creative force brings itself into existence.
